Am F

Raised to be a lady by the golden rule

Dm Am

Alice was the spawn of a public school

F

With a double barrel name, in the back of her brain

Dm G Am

And a simple case of mummy-dont-love-me blues

+
[Verse]
x

Am F

Reality it seems, was just a dream

Dm Am

She couldn't get it on, with the boys on the scene

F

But what do you expect from a chick who’s just sixteen

Dm G Am

And hey hey hey (hey hey hey) you know what I mean

+
[Chorus]
x

F#m7b5 F

All the young girls love Alice

C D

Tender young Alice they say

Am F

Come over and see me, come over and please me

G# A# Am

Alice it's my turn today

F#m7b5 F

All the young girls love Alice

C D

Tender young Alice they say

Am F

If I give you my number, will you promise to call me?

G# A# Am

Wait 'til my husband’s away

Am F

Poor little darling, with a chip out of her heart

Dm Am

It's like acting in a movie, when you've got the wrong part

F

Getting your kicks, in another girl's bed

Dm G Am

And it was only last Tuesday, oh, they found you in the subway dead

+
[Verse]
x

Am F

And who could you call your friends down in Soho?

Dm Am

One or two, middle aged dikes in a go-go?

F

And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo?

Dm G Am

And hey hey hey (hey hey hey) oh, don't you know

+
[Chorus]

F#m7b5 F

All the young girls love Alice

C D

Am F

Come over and see me, come over and please me

G# A# Am

Alice it's my turn today

F#m7b5 F

All the young girls love Alice
